[NewL1 Testnet Expected to Launch by End of 2026, BNB Chain Opens Dedicated Community Forum] Odaily Planet Daily News: BNB Chain has opened a dedicated community forum section for the new Layer 1 network, NewL1. This section will go live in July 2026 and will be promoted on October 17 and 19. NewL1 is EVM-compatible and designed for scenarios involving transactions, payments, and AI, including support for autonomous trading by AI agents. Its target performance includes pre-confirmation times of less than 50 milliseconds, TPS exceeding 100,000, and sub-second finality. NewL1 will not issue new tokens; BNB will be the sole gas token. It will introduce a TxStream structure to reduce front-running risks, incorporate privacy-enhancing features, and build a native cross-chain bridge connecting to BSC. The forum will focus on discussions around token economics, consensus protocols, and privacy-related technical topics, with price speculation strictly prohibited.
